Version 8.0.0 buffs

[MA_DA_Oh]

I mentioned it in the general thread but it seems like the buffs were his best ones since in a very long time, correct me if I'm wrong, anyway I pasting the ones I saw, if someone sees I missed one, please correct me:


Up Smash AttackExtended launch distance.

Grab Attack: Increased the speed for grabs, dash grabs, and turning and grabbing.

Forward Throw: Extended launch distance.

Side Special: Increased the speed of grabs.
Extended launch distance for when the Lariat hits.

Down Special: Reduced vulnerability.
Increased the power up amount when the move succeeds.

Looks like his buffs focused in his grappling playstyle. Makes sense I guess the idea is to stabilish the more unique characters by improving in things that are already meant to be their strenghts

Does anyone know how much stronger Lariat Side-B is?

Hecking strong. Can't tell you how much exactly cause I can't really check the specifics myself but I definitely saw a big boost in knock back, it can solidly kill heavyweights like Falcon at around 130% in the middle of FD now.

Also the amount of hitlag Revenge boosted hits do now is ridiculous. I've hit people with revenge up and got almost a full second of hitlag sometimes.

I can feel he's gotten more comfortable to use, I cleaned up the arms spirit board just by training up Alolan Whip

I killed Yoshi at around 100 with up smash. Bless these buffs!

Now that grabbing is faster, I hope it also gets a longer reach in the next patch to help make up against projectile users

I wish most characters would get a longer grab reach. There are few non-tetherers who don't need it. I'm tired of t-rex arms

I wholeheartedly agree, specially since its the funniest way to ko an opponent every time.

Grabbing in general should be more focused on in gamepay, when playing casually with my friends they rarely use it unless its a grappler like character.
